VeryMeanReversion Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Why don't you tell your boss that a massive crash is on its way. Sit back 6 months and be get promoted in kind. He's retiring and moving North for cheaper housing, one shuffle up the greasy pole already arranged for me. I gave up talking about house prices to people I know, it never goes well. Us crazies on here seem to had our bullsh*t filters removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManVsRecession Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 If we vote to leave, maybe they will crash it all, and blame Brexit. Maybe that's the plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
long time lurking Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 What would fair value for that house actually be? It must surely be sub £100k? Going by the address you need to be asking Ken Dodd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollover Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 This is what a $700 billion bond-market bubble looks likeTwo of the most important central-bank governors, Japan's Haruhiko Kuroda and the eurozone's Mario Draghi, have each said there's "no limit" to what they'll do to loosen monetary policy this year. This is because they have set inflation targets they just can't hit at the moment. Not only that, but their economies are dangerously close to deflation — where prices fall rather than rise, sparking a recession as corporate profits decline. To stimulate their economies, and get fresh credit circulating, they have bought bonds and lowered interest rates. Central bankers' easing policies, along with bank capital and liquidity rules that make holding bonds more attractive, have inflated the bond market by a huge $700 billion (£481 billion) since the 2008 financial crisis, according to Deutsche Bank. That increase has come at the expense of the stock market. Beyond any negative signal further monetary easing sends on underlying growth prospects, historically falling bond yields with the attendant capital gains on bonds have seen inflows rotate into bonds at the expense of equities. The correlation between equities and bond yields remains strongly positive. Notably, the best period of inflows for equities was after the taper announcement in 2013 when bond yields rose sharply. So, money that would have flowed into the stock market has been sucked into the bond market instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashmonitor Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Ken Dodd certainly wouldn't have been able to build up his stash at today's house prices. Doddy's cash sewn into Diddy men at Knotty Ash would indeed be worth little in house price currency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evetsm Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 .To stimulate their economies, and get fresh credit circulating, they have bought bonds and lowered interest rates.. 02 And that is killing us. That destroys capital and puts businesses out of business. They don't seem to even realize this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CunningPlan Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Ken Dodd certainly wouldn't have been able to build up his stash at today's house prices. Not so sure. Top house price in his street is £150k with some as low as £80k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssKay Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Interesting piece from the Spectator on the impact of a Deutsche Bank collapse: http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2016/02/if-deutsche-bank-collapses-its-taking-the-euro-with-it/ Basically it's either curtains for the Euro if the Germans bail it out or a disaster for the German economy if they don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybong Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) ^ Two of the most important central-bank governors, Japan's Haruhiko Kuroda and the eurozone's Mario Draghi, have each said there's "no limit" to what they'll do to loosen monetary policy this year. This is because they have set inflation targets they just can't hit at the moment. Maybe they could get those few people who do benefit from the "stimulus" to go out and buy the entire stock of supermarkets etc. Then they might get a bit of price "inflation". That would be a success for the economy wouldn't it. Edited February 12, 2016 by billybong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
